Description: The agency plans to replace references to Retirement, Survivors, Disability Insurance (RSDI) and Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) with Old Age, Survivors, and Disability Insurance (OASDI). This change is to provide consistent references to the OASDI benefits provided under Title II of the Social Security Act in the agency’s SSI-related income and resource rules for Medicaid. Both of these WACs refer to the same three types of benefits that the Social Security Administration (SSA) pays to eligible beneficiaries. A person who receives one or more of these cash payments is automatically related by category to one or more Medicaid eligibility groups. A common term for these SSA benefits is the OASDI program.

Description: The agency is proposing to revise multiple sections in several chapters of Title 182 Washington Apple Health rules to remove nonessential restrictions and limitations as required in Substitute Senate Bill 5779. The agency is in the processing of determining the specific chapters and sections that are affected.

Description: The agency is amending this rule to allow a limited exception to the requirement that an attorney representing an appellant in a hearing must file a notice of appearance. The exception would apply to an attorney representing an appellant who was also the person that originally requested the appellant’s hearing.
